Haven't watched any episodes yet. Might not. I'd probably watch it if not for all the ****ery with this streaming service. They can eat shit, and that's the message I want to send to them.

I currently have Cable internet + Hulu Live + Netflix and even if I added CBS All Access, my bill will be still significantly lower than Cable or DirecTV. |

After some thought, I've come to the conclusion that the pilot and possibly the series, are completely unnecessary and in terms of overall quality, shit.
I though that Green was awful. She rushed her lines and didn't portray any emotion. I understand that she was raised Vulcan but I found her performance to be cold. Michelle Yeoh's accent may throw some people off but I found her to be far more believable than Green. And Klingons, again? They keep changing the back story and I found their language and subtitles to be comical. This is what ignites the war with the Klingons? Blech. Also, the technology was so far advanced from the TOS and the series that followed that it made it simply ridiculous for me to believe. I think CBS and Paramount would have been better off setting this program in the 26th or 27th century or have it set right after First Contact. I just can't buy into it. |

In addition to the horrid new look, why do the Klingons talk so slow? They never spoke that slowly in the movies, NG or DS9. The cadence reminded me of how the Apache spoke in Geronimo (and it may well have been accurate, but it was jarring and slowed down that movie also).
And the new Klingon ships look absolutely nothing, and I mean NOTHING, like their previous counterparts. It could be argued that the Federation ships look more like old Klingon vessels, only with a saucer stuck on the front. At least they're nasty. I guess they got that right. |

I have streaming services and cut the cord years ago. I'm not a caveman. I'm just saying the rest of the world is getting this show on netflix, but for the USA, they want us to buy some shit service that basically has one show on it. **** them.

Not just one! My wife informed me that Big Brother (some ridiculous brain melting reality show that is unwatchable by any standards) has a live segment that you can watch on the streaming site. Conversation went like this: Wife: yeah they advertise Big Brother Live on that. B445: what the **** is Big Brother live? Wife: oh you get to watch these morons in the house. B445: why the hell would anyone watch that? Wife: no idea. |

She gets mad, but I ask here what could possibly possess a smart woman to watch complete and utter shit (exact words), she can't answer. **** those shows. It make people dumber and has no redeeming value to anyone. |

Just an awful, awful show. I could manage to suffer Gray's Anatomy for a couple of years (until she spent like 40 minutes underwater but didn't die and then had a ghost mom episode or something...I dunno, I was done). And I think This is Us is awful but it's background noise awful - I can tune it out and read or cook or something. But Gilmore Girls....lord god almighty I couldn't be in the vicinity of it. |

She's not too bad though. She watches Big Brother which is by far the worst. It is truly horrible. Then she does Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars. I really think she hates Bachelor/Bachelorette. One day I needed to talk to her about whatever. So I asked her WTF is going on. She then proceeds to go through like 10 guys that fill some "role" and when they would be eliminated. I looked at her with this look and her response was "I know. It's reeruned." But I'm with DJLN I can't be around Big Brother. |

Prequels suck. They don't explore strange new worlds or seek out new life and new civilizations. They're basically there to make money. That's about it. I think it DOES shed some light on why CBS was so pissed off about Axanar, though. Axanar was doing shit they wanted to do (the pre-Kirk Klingon War). Wouldn't surprise me if they completely lifted sections and plot ideas from that Prelude to Axanar video. If this happens it will remind me a bit of when the creator of Babylon 5 went to Paramount with the mapped out Babylon universe, they said no to his show idea, but then created DS9 instead which ripped off enormous segments of that Babylon script. Granted, DS9 is infinitely better than Babylon 5, but it's still kind of shady. |
